He (Elliott) played in a couple youth world cup games where he was totally outshone by Peverly. A young up and comer with a future ahead of him not behind him.
Does anyone know if Peverley has any trials anywhere or is likely to go for any? It seems a shame as he is a good player but is not really developing much, only playing in the NZFC. I know the NZFC is NZ's top competition but my opinion is this competition is full of "has beens" who are the very reason why NZ soccer is developing at a very slow rate. I mean to say Ross Nicholson is a nice guy but when you see someone like that playing in your Country's Top League, it doesn't instill a lot of confidence in the calibre of the League.
There are so many young players who could easily play at this level but who don't get the opportunity because the Clubs keep sigining the old carthorses. (I have to say though, that Waitakere a pretty good as they seem to have given a lot of young players an opportunity and seem to be getting rewarded for it).
